Eczema Solutions and LMC meet-up

My son Mark has really bad eczema.. recently the back of his knees have these weeping sores from scratching.. secondary infection i think... I remembered he used to come back from beach holidays with really good skin. I think the seawater or rather saltwater acts as an antiseptic or something.. So i decided to replicate it by buying marine aquarium salt mix and a hygrometer to make up my own 'seawater' at home. I bought it from this shop at Balestier - Sealife.. $16 for a big pack of seasalt and $6 for a hygrometer to measure the salinity. I used about 600g for a pail of water and turned out to be too salty. So next time i'd try 450g. Have applied the salt water 3 times on his skin so far. At first the stinging was so bad he yelped like a puppy but on the third application, he said the stinging was tolerable. The skin really looks so much better already. There is skin peeling off so i think that's good rite.. I also found another contact on the internet selling Dead Sea Bath Salts and will be going down tmr afternoon to get it. Will keep you posted on the results...

Guess where I went last nite.. i joined a meet-up from Lancer Motoring Club Forum at Yishun Dam for the first time. Was quite apprehensive about the meetup as I'm really quite noob at cars.. But the fellas on the forum seem really friendly so I thought just chalk it down as an experience. They are really down-to-earth car ah bengs wearing singlets, shorts and slippers but their cars r souped up n mod like crazy! I enjoyed looking at their souped up cars, listening to their advice and 'poison' while trying NOT to remember my age! They r mostly in their late 20s to 30s. I feel like an auntie amongst them!! But i must say i have the fittest body, hehe... and i mean the real human body,not the car body, haha..

Ok after a really gr8 afternoon (sorry i can't give you the details, too sizzling hot!!*wink) i need to go to the pool soon to swim and work on my cellulite.. can see some on my thighs :( I usually swim on a saturday but today, my 'best friend' came and i have to entertain her (you know who's my best friend, rite..she comes once a month) So i have decided to play scrabble instead with mark..
